Do you have an allergy to soy?
Problems with Soy
Soy is one of the most common food allergies with symptoms as subtle as fatigue, gas, and abdominal pain. In addition to being a food allergy, soy products contains toxins such as: phytic acid, trypsin inhibitors, toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines. Soy is also associated with infertility, malnutrition, digestive problems, thyroid disfunction, reproductive disorders, birth defects, weakened immune system, heart disease and cancer.
Soy-Free Benefits
Although soy may be high in protein, it is not an essential food and is definitely not worth the health risks. Grass-fed, organic meat is by far the best source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. By eating a soy-free diet you will experience greater nutrient absorption, better digestion, improved thyroid function, increased fertility, stronger immunity and even weight loss.
Replacements
Fermented soy products like miso, soy sauce, tamari, tempeh and natto are okay in moderation. However, other soy products should be replaced with more nutrient dense foods. For example, instead of eating tofu, try eating meat. If you are a vegetarian, eat fish or eggs to get more protein. Fish is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and omega 3 essential fatty acids. Replacing soy milk with coconut milk is much healthier as well. Coconut milk contains less sugar, more nutrients and will increase your metabolism.
